It probably sounds better due to the focusrite's better clock

Try this and see if your sound improves.

Also disable any firewire network adapters.


I've had the same issue, and have still not been able to get 2 896HD's to work properly together...

Please let us know if this help at all.

there is not real way to do what you are ... I really am not at all impressed with MOTU's useless tech support... these a forums are only kind-of helpful. You can bus your 2nd Motu's mix to either the AES/EBU or ADAT, and use those to mix them into the First Motu. Its pretty pathetic the whole motu ...

well... it destroys the formating of my diagram.




Check that... I love MSPAINT. lol.[/img]

and it has no problem slave/master through the adat... right now how I am recording is like this.... PC FW | AARDSYNC | / / 896HD_1 ------------------------/ / <--- Word Clock Cables | | <--- Adat IN/OUT / | | <---/ / | | / 896HD_2 -----------------------| Only one 896HD is connected to the PC throu...

the reason i purchased the external clock was the two motu's would take 5-10 minutes to sync on their own, no matter which was set to master. And then, if I open cuemix, or vegas, or any audio app it would lose sync. (and if you have in-ear monitors in this really sucks) Once they "lock" t...

I am pretty sure that after finishing this recording session I am going to sell the moto's and write horrible reviews for the units. Thier support is pretty much worthless --- I've had a "tech note" on thier site since 10/24/2007 16:48:00 -- they just replied - as in minutes ago (mail goes...

Can you post your system specs, and exactly what you are interfacing with the 2408?

I will do my best to help out... I had a 2408MKII and loved it... sold it for two 896HD's ... wish I had stayed with the 2408 ...

wow, thats a pretty reasonable price... let us know how it works out.

there is no way that I know of to set both 896's to external word clock the audio setup only allows one motu to be set as the clock ie [1] 896HD Word Clock In or [2] 896HD Word Clock In We are using seperate outputs of the aardvark aardsync ii. I can get the motu's to lock by external clock perfectl...

(thanks for the reply!) there is no way that I know of to set both 896's to external word clock We are using seperate outputs of the aardvark aardsync ii. I can get the motu's to lock by external clock perfectly... 1. Plug in only the second motu to pc. 2. Set this motu to external word clock. (set ...

I am going to guess its pre-d/a because the way cuemix works... I assume its the same process just for a main out... I've had the same thing on all my motu gear... the "red" just means it hit 0dB --- Or max it doesnt mean it went over... most pro-recorded stuff is compressed to the max to ...

Not sure, but it sounds like the powersupply has failed. If you even any electronics experince you may be able to fix it... but its a switching power supply --- so its not gonna be easy. If you like in Phoenix, I wouldnt mind checking it out for you, I do a lot of electionics design and building. PM...

Well I answered one of my questions... If you supply the Motu's 44.1/48 WC and set the motu 88.2/96 it will double the Word Clock Signal. Then if you set the motu to 176.4/192 it will multi the clock by 4 allowing it to run off the 44.1/48. Neat. Too bad I Can't get both motu's to Sync off word clock.
